Lyrics

Leaving Charlottesville

I met that (D)girl when (C)I was seven(D)teen.
She was the finest (C)girl I’d ever (A)seen.
With auburn (G)hair and emerald (D)eyes (G)
but (C)she was just a devil in dis(A)guise. (stop til D)

She stole my (D)heart, (C) then walked a(D)way
She kept coming back, (C)but she never (A)stayed
I don’t know (G)why, I hung around so (D)long (G)
Her (C)hold on me was way too (A)strong (stop til D)

I caught the (D)last train (C)leavin’ Charlottes(D)ville
I watched her lights fade beyond the (A)hills
All those (G)miles, strengthened my (D)will
But even (C)now……… after all this (A)time….….(stop)
I miss her (D)still. (C-hammer on) (G) (D)

I hoped (D)she (C)might change her (D)mind
But she’s, not the changing (A)kind
So I left (G)town, for a brand new (D)start (G)
There’s no (C)warmin’ up that cold, cold (A)heart…((stop)

I caught the (D)last train (C)leavin’ Charlottes(D)ville
And saw her lights fade beyond the (A)hills
All those (G)miles, strengthened my (D)will
But even (C)now…… after all this (A)time…….(stop)
I miss her (D)still. (C) (G) (D)

I never (D)saw that (C)red haired girl a(D)gain
But I still (G)think about her now and (A)then
And for a (G)moment, I’m lost in her (D)eyes (G)
But I’ll never (C)miss her cheatin’ and her (A)lies.
